GOP Senate nominee: Texas school shooting was a false flag to get Hispanics to vote for Democrats

Right-wing conspiracy theorist and 2020 GOP nominee for Senate Lauren Witzke appeared on the right-wing CrossTalk News program this Tuesday and claimed the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, was actually a false flag perpetrated by the U.S. government to ensure Hispanics vote for Democrats.

“So, of course I think about the conspiracy behind all of it,” Witzke said. “What do they gain from this, besides the gun control push? Hispanics are starting to vote Republican and conservative. They specifically targeted a school in an area that is majority Hispanic—it’s essentially Mexico is what it is—and they went specifically for a Hispanic district. Murdered 19 [children]. Of course, if this was a false flag or [the shooter] was an MKUltra, there was a reason behind this because they’re watching as the Hispanics are starting to lean more conservative.”

“These people are crazy,” she continued. “The midterms are coming up, and there’s no limit to how far they’ll go. There’s no limit to how far they’ll go to change the public narrative on things. I think it was multifaceted. Of course, it was a federal operation in order to implement gun control; now even the GOP is fighting for it, Fox News is calling for it. … Do not give them one inch because they’ll take the whole thing. It is a warning now, and I know it’s very sad and I know it’s awful, but also all this stuff is organized and operated.”
